[qmailtoaster] re: update problem

[Maxwell Smart]

I have an update problem I am hoping some guru can help me with.  It's different than the other thread so I didn't want to thread jack.  I have a dependency issue that I can't figure out how to get around I tried to do a yum update with the following results: [root@laetitia yum.repos.d]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile  * base: mirror.singleedge.com  * epel: linux.mirrors.es.net  * extras: mirror.stanford.edu  * rpmforge-extras: mirror.hmc.edu  * rpmfusion-free-updates: mirror.web-ster.com  * rpmfusion-free-updates-testing: mirror.web-ster.com  * updates: mirror.raystedman.net Excluding Packages from Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - i386 Finished Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package perl-IO-Compress.noarch 0:2.052-1.el5.rfx set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.052 for package: perl-IO-Compress --> Finished Dependency Resolution perl-IO-Compress-2.052-1.el5.rfx.noarch from rpmforge-extras has depsolving problems   --> Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.052 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.052-1.el5.rfx.noarch (rpmforge-extras) Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.052 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.052-1.el5.rfx.noarch (rpmforge-extras)  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem  You could try running: package-cleanup --problems                         package-cleanup --dupes                         rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package. [root@laetitia yum.repos.d]# cd /packages/ I then tried to install perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.052-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm using the rpm and it gave me this error: [root@laetitia packages]# rpm -Uhv perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.052-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies:         perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.037 is needed by (installed) perl-IO-Compress-2.037-1.el5.rfx.noarch This seems like a classic military catch 22.  I tried to force the install, so I could then update perl-IO but it wouldn't install it because of the dependency.  Any suggestions? Thanks --
